their daughter

05

After the meeting Annie was in her room laying on her bed while scrolling through some social media posts. It was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come In!" She yelled and her fathers along with Paul, Sandy and Josh walked in.

"Hey sweet pea" Niall said walking over to his daughter. They all gave her a kiss on the head before looking at her.

"Okay you guys are scaring me you all are never all like, what did I do wrong." She asked with wide eyes

The men in the room chuckled. "Nothing we just wanted to talk to you about the recent events." Zayn said to the girl. Annie nodded signaling them to continue.

"We just wanted to know your thoughts before we officially sign the deal." Liam spoke

"I mean i'm fine with it as long as it makes you guys happy" Annie spoke with truth

All the boys nodded "If you're sure about it Annie, we don't wanna do something you're not comfortable with."

Annie laughed and stood up from her bed "This is your band not mine, so go tell Simon that you're doing this." She smiled and "pushed" her family out of her room so they could make this happen.

Once the door was shut Annie fell onto her bed, she wanted what was best for her dads and family but she didn't want to be pushed into the spotlight. She also had a gut feeling that this Simon guy wasn't as nice as he seemed. She grabbed her computer to do some research on this man who she assumed she'd be seeing a lot more often.

Speaking of the man himself, Simon was at his office with his team.

"I need these boys to take this deal so we can finally get the brat out of the way. She's the reason my big money makers stop making music." Simon growled while waiting at his desk for his phone to ring

"Simon you haven't been completely clear on what you're gonna do with the girl if this plan works out." His assistant Joan spoke to the man

Simon rolled his eyes "This IS going to work" he emphasized "That little girl will head to the states with a new family, so she's not in the spotlight and doesn't take attention away from-"
Simon was cut off by his phone ringing , the caller ID read "Styles" He shushed his team before picking up the phone.

Back at the One Direction household Harry had just gotten off the phone with their manager.

"It's official. Management will be putting out a statement later , and scheduling us for a press conference tomorrow " The youngest spoke

The all nodded before Niall spoke up "Remember boys make sure you don't get too crazy in this, we have a daughter who deserves all our attention and time too"

"We could never forget her in the fame don't worry Ni" Zayn said to the blonde. "Now we all need some sleep for tomorrow"

The five made her way upstairs and stopped at the daughters room first. Being the respectful parents they were they knocked on the door first before hearing a computer screen slam then a small "come in"

The dads walked in and kissed their little girl goodnight. "Night princess, we have to be up early tomorrow so you'll be alone for a few hours" Louis said while sitting next to Annie.

"Got it Dad, you don't have to worry" They knew not too , but come on this was their baby they were talking about. They kissed her once more before bidding their goodnight and heading to their room.

The five dads were sitting in the living room watching their now one year old baby on the floor playing with her toys. She just mastered crawling , so they knew walking was coming soon. They can't believe how fast their girl was growing.
